Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Williams: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 3 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Fautanu in the 34th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Circle this one: Keon Coleman at pick No. 68 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in the 102nd overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
